Noting your typo: 2.4 billion Christians. And contrary to media myths about the growth of Islam, the fastest growing religion in the world is Christianity. But the French and western European nations along with many in the UK and here are so Western-centric that they still assume trends in our countries are leading indicators for the rest of the world. The in-your-face mockery surely hasn’t been well received in other parts of the world. The French planners and IOC gravely miscalculated even as they were celebrating athletes and coaches from the nations of the world where Christian girls and women are being raped and enslaved, little boys as young as four beheaded in front of their parents, and the men then martyred. The truth is that “the blood of the martyrs cry out” and their courageous witness in suffering and even death are spurring even more rapid growth of Christians. Our government, our celebrity-obsessed media and our self-absorbed population pay little attention to the shift in momentum to the Eastern and Southern global hemispheres.
